[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] Experiment: enable github pull requests

[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] Experiment: enable github pull requests

[Michael Niedermayer]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 772 bytes --]

Hi all

I propose, that we enable github pull requests

github is the most widely used development platform and has the lowest barrier
of entry.

after ~1-3 Month, we then evaluate how many new developers this attracted,
how many new contributions it attracted.
What the ratios of reviewed vs ignored vs applied vs rejected patches are compared to the ML

This information should help the community make decissions about the use of
web based git development vs the mailing list.

Thx

Those are rather arbitrary statistics.

Every one of us is already familiar with the benefits of having a platform.
This is just slowing down and delaying what we ought to do, which is to 
switch as soon as possible.
Finally, without CI, it doesn't really show the potential.

We all know that github will not be the platform we move to, so instead 
of getting used to a temporary workflow, I'd rather we test a likely 
final workflow that we could potentially be using.

Instead of github, I want to use the current test Forgejo instance. It 
already has CI working and over 10 developers have registered.
Some have doubts about whether it would slow down with more users, or 
bugs would appear, and it would be good to demonstrate the platform can 
handle our workflow, and fix any remaining issues.

Users can already login to the instance with their github accounts, so 
there's no barrier to entry.

Would you mind sharing the url? A quick search didn't reveal anything.

Some people claimed these statistics would improve. I do think we should
compare some statistics (obviously not limited to these)

Thats cool, then forgejo is probably better for this experiment (if we do it)

Are all accounts restricted to owning a maximum of 0 repositories by
default, or is it set to 0 only for those that sign up through one of
the external logins?

It's set to 0 by default, to avoid spammers uploading junk, or just 
people (ab)using it for non-ffmpeg things.

You can open issues and comment on existing PRs.
And also create PRs using the AGit workflow:
https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user/agit-support/

The repo limit can manually be lifted per user. I preferred that 
approach vs. the Videolan approach of completely locking down the 
instance, and requiring admin approval for every single new user, which 
imo is more detrimental to new contributors than a ML.

Hi Timo,

Does that mean that you cannot create forks and create PRs from that forked repo like on GitHub?

Not sure what you mean, you need "admin approval" to be allowed to 
create repos, including forks.
Just to avoid abuse. Obviously you can then PR from that fork once you 
got one.
Or you can submit PRs without a fork as stated above.

I don't think it's a good idea to build such entry bars.

That's a workflow I've never heard about - same like most other contributors. Again, that is building an entry bar.

I think people should be able to use a procedure they are familiar with.
Is it possible to create PRs from a fork on GitHub?

Thanks

I'm really not sure what you're asking.
PRs are not restricted. Creating repos is.
And there is no way to NOT restrict it, unless you want to pay several 
hundred Euros a month in hosting fees extra, and constantly be on the 
lookout for hosting illegal/harmful things.

I totally understand the concern.

The procedure for creating PRs using AGit is a bit arcane but I'll give it
a try.

It would be nice to have this document big and bold when users register, I
was quite lost after registration seeing I couldn't fork.

I'm gonna try to think about how to split patches from the ML perspective
to a PR perspective.

Is there any opinion on this? Typically the series I have has a section for
flac and one for opus, do y'all think one general PR for the base work then
one PR for flac and one PR for opus or one single PR with the patch series
like in the ML?

Thanks,

I wasn't asking, I'm stating that not being able to use an established workflow like 

fork >> clone >> develop >> push >> PR

...would be an entry-bar for new contributors.

But here comes a question: I've read that the "AGit flow" work by creating a branch for each submission in the original repo. Doesn't the repo get "polluted" over time this way? In case of merged PRs, the branch might get deleted, but what about unmerged ones?
And when one clones the whole repo, don't they get all those branches downloaded locally as well? (as long as one doesn’t specify which branches to download)

Thanks

For those who are too lazy to look it up:

The "Agit workflow" requires you to use non-standard Git "push-options"
(either -o or --push-options):

git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master -o topic="topic-branch" \
  -o title="Title of the PR" \
  -o description="# The PR Description
This can be **any** markdown content.\n
- [x] Ok"

This means essentially that our attempt to move away from the e-mail-based submission procedure to something easy and user-friendly, would end up in replacing the current rarely-known mechanism with another even more rare and obscure procedure which would (again) force everybody to use the Git command line because it's (again) not supported by any tooling except Git CLI.

I'm afraid, but from my point of view, this doesn't match the objective.

Best

Thinking about it, I do not quite understand.

When I had the choice between whether spammers can create their own repos or create branches in my original repo (AGit flow), I would surely prefer the former.

I hope I didn't misunderstand anything (apologies in that case).

So do forks, cause they all live in the same underlying repo as well.
Unless a user deltes the repo/branch/PR, stuff pushed there will hang 
around forever.

The only alternative is to completely lock down the instance, and not 
allow new users at all without manual approval of each and every one.

People can just ask to be allowed to fork, but by default, allowing it 
is not feasible.

Videolan apparently even went away from the current approach on our 
instance, cause there was still too much spam. So they're 
manual-approval-only now.

Yes but surely if users do a simple clone of the main repository, they will
get all the branches of hundred of different pull requests?

Hm, please help me understand what kind of spam we're talking about here. I can't imagine somebody would take the effort for selling some pills to ffmpeg developers. When it's about advertising anything, that's not the kind of reach those people are typically looking for.

Or is it about misusing repos for storage of illegal content? The largest file currently is just 953kB, so we could enforce a limit small enough to make it unattractive for this purpose (unlike GitHub with 100MB per file).

We could also disallow repos with custom content (i.e. only forks of ffmpeg are allowed as repo content).

Then I wonder, where would be the harm? Some thousand unused forks of ffmpeg shouldn't be a problem - but maybe I'm overseeing something?

Thanks

There are all sorts of copyrightable material that can be embedded
into a git repo.

Also payloads for malicious software.

etc.

Given that this all amounts to manpower from the operator, it's
totally understandable that they would like to be conservative about
opening it up.

No, why would they?
That's all abstracted away. Pretty much just an optimization on storage, 
making all forks share the actual git object files.
Which has the side-effect that even on Github you can fork the FFmpeg 
repo, push something, and then link to the hash of what you pushed on 
the actual FFmpeg repo:
> https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/commit/4904c8861b1b52c50199e83620fbabfad4733a2b

This commit is only on a branch of mine, not on any FFmpeg branch.
Github warns about that these days, but Gitlab/Gitea/Forgejo/... don't 
for what I'm aware.

That's why I mentioned that a file size limit could prevent this. With a 2 MB limit per file, it becomes totally unattractive for this kind of abuse.

AFAIK, you are only responsible to take stuff down once you get notified, you don't need to actively look for anything.

Okay, but when it's in a repo, what happens next? I mean why would somebody store that in a repo? What would be the goal?

Also, I wonder how this would be different from attachments on https://trac.ffmpeg.org ? There's no requirement for user "approval" as well..

That doesn't seem feasible to implement, given it's git.
Not even sure how to implement such a limit at all with git.
Some hook would need to check every file on push, which I don't think is 
something that readily exists.

And even then, there will be ways around it if someone is motivated enough.

I still wouldn't want to be the one hosting who knows what of illegal 
shit on our servers.

Also keep in mind that if they fork the FFmpeg repo, and then push 
something big and bad into that fork, it ends up in the same backing 
storage of git objects.
So it's not even trivial to just delete it again, and bar access to it.

You can ask Videolan about how a fully open Gitlab instance went for them.

We're just relatively lucky that trac is pretty uncommon and spambots 
targetting are more rare.
Also, our custom-baked captcha for trac has so far remained undefeated.

Before it was implemented, trac also had a lot of spambots.

GitHub does it. I think a pre-receive hook can do it. AI spits out a 10 line
Bash script. Might be wrong as usual, but the principle should work.

The nature of illegal shit these days involves a certain size - as said, I don't believe that it's attractive for anybody when you can store max 2 MB files. Splitting it into a RAR set like in earlier days is also not something worth the effort, give that so many better alternatives exist.

If these are just branches, why would it be non-trivial to delete them?
I would expect that from forgejo to be handled when a forked repo gets deleted, don't you think they would do so?

That sounds like a good idea to me.
I could also imagine other measures to make it less attractive for any automated account creations, for example with regards to timing:

- Don't allow more than 1 account creation per 15 minutes 
  (a real person can wait and try again when told so, and automated sign-ups are unable to create many accounts at once)
- State that the e-mail confirmation may take up to an hour and let it take that long
  (an automated signup doesn't have the time to wait)
- Require new users to wait 24h before being allowed to push something (or create a fork repo)

These things are acceptable for real persons but no spammer likes something that needs to be scripted in multiple parts which need to run at different times.
Albeit annoying, this is still far better than requiring that people have to "apply" in order to be granted access. That's extreme fencing again and might even appear as if things have become worse than before (for posting patches to the ML you don't need to ask anybody for being granted access).

If it's too difficult to handle it via self-hosting, my preference would go back to using GitHub instead.

Thanks
